Pre-Orders for the Consumer Oculus Rift to Open Tomorrow

Some great news from Oculus just came in, they announced that pre-orders for the new consumer Oculus Rift will start tomorrow (January 6th) on the official website, but a price has not yet been announced. The news are even better for all Kickstarter backers, like me, that pledged for a Rift development kit who will be getting a free Kickstarter Edition Oculus Rift. No word on what will be different with this edition, but it will also include, just like all Rift pre-orders, a bundled copy of Lucky’s Tale and EVE: Valkyrie. There is however a bit of not so good news for some at there also is a mention of “in one of the 20 countries Rift is launching in”…

It seems that the consumer version of Oculus Rift will be available initially only for people living in the following countries with more apparently to come later on: United States, United Kingdom, Australia, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Spain, Sweden, and Taiwan.
